And yes, sometimes we park 62 Challenge Cars on the street. How else can I get 1 challenge car in and out of the garage?!?!

You need that new shop space, post haste.  Unless you're afraid you won't get any work done when you have a huge, properly equipped shop.  I've seen that happen.  

62 Challenge cars at our nearest WH today. She's a little shy of 28k. OMG I love driving this car (on the rare occasion that I get to do so)! This pic makes me think about tint. Ultimately, it is AW's choice since it is her car, but I think it would look good with the sides and rear pretty dark.

I followed an RS6 down the Ohio turnpike yesterday, thought it would be cooler if it were a wagon.

Wagons Unite!!.........I'll race you!

In this platform, the sedan-ish hatch is the RS7 and the wagon is the RS6.

Dang, I like that paint!

Also set starting system fault, sport differential fault, and something else I don't remember. Fortunately it happened 3 miles from the dealer where we bought it, so it's in their hands now. Service guy said all these are related to the starter / alternator or the HV battery. Apparently there's an open recall for starter / alternator, so I'm hopeful that fixes it.

Well, she was good for about 3 weeks, until 6:11PM today when AW called to tell me the car gave her a ton of fault warnings and wouldn’t shift out of park. Several of these faults led to the previous dealer trip and recall replacement of the starter-alternator. I’m hoping for a loose ground. It’s being towed to the dealership tomorrow.

Here’s to a speedy and inexpensive repair!

It’s still covered by factory warranty for another 13 months or 20k miles. 🤘🏻😎

Pic above of damage inflicted by unknown rodent  (I suspect chipmunk) feasting on some expensive wiring under hood. Fortunately, this will be covered by our comprehensive insurance. My agent and I opened a claim today. Extent of damage unknown, as dealer does not have the car in their shop yet. The engine would start for them, but the car would not go into gear.

Whoa. 

Time for a five gallon bucket with a 3" hole cut in the lid and a gallon of green antifreeze. They get in looking for the sweet that they can smell, they can't get back out and consume the "not meant for consumption" treat.
